Do hock injuries heal? Researchers address literature gaps via Alliance-funded project
Former PhD student Dr. Amanda Armstrong and Dr. David Kelton, Department of Population Medicine, professor and Dairy Farmers of Ontario Chair in Dairy Cattle Health, investigated hock injury healing in dairy cows.
“Our findings have addressed some of the gaps in the literature about hock injury healing,” says Armstrong. “This study provided us with great insight into practices that could be implemented on farms to promote healing of mild and moderate hock injuries.”
